Losing Chest And Body Hair

To the ancient Greeks and Romans, a hairless chest on a man was the aesthetic ideal, possibly because it represented youth. Today, however, chest hair on a man is considered a classic sign of masculinity and a source of pride in many cultures. As with head hair, if a man's chest hair starts to go, his ego may not be far behind. Losing chest and body hair can be a normal sign of aging or signal an androgen deficiency, which itself is often related to aging. It may also be a sign of alopecia areata.
